Best Mahabharata Characters

Mahabharat is an Indian epic and we are talking about the top characters from Mahabharata.
The Top Ten
1 Karna

Karna is a great warrior. Karna is a real hero of the Mahabharata, but no one respects his power because everyone knew he was a great archer. However, everyone demeaned him by calling him the chariot's son.

Most people think Arjun is better than Karna, but that's not true. If Arjun was better than Karna, how could he kill Karna with adharma? If he was able to kill him, then he should have given him a chance to get out his wheel or hold Vijay Dhanush in his hand. Krishna knew Arjun was not able to kill Karna fairly, so Krishna told Arjun, This is the right time. If you do not kill him now, you will never kill him.

The real point is everyone did adharma in the Mahabharata, even Lord Krishna.

2 Krishna

Krishna is perfect in every way!

Krishna should be first. The comment I wrote for Arjun is the same as Krishna. Actually, Krishna is my big brother. Hi bhaiya.

The ultimate source of everything resides in every particle of the universe. Although rated second here, it might be the Lord's own choice.

Even warrior Karna was made up of the Lord's blessings. Remember him for the path of progress.

3 Bheeshma

The most virtuous character bound by shackles of promises. Everyone disrespected him even though he was the most respected one.

He was the greatest warrior who could have destroyed everyone but restrained his powers.

The greatest warrior and a man who keeps his word at whatever cost it takes.

4 Arjun

I never care about what anyone says about him. He is the person for whom Lord Krishna himself became the charioteer.

That says it all. Better than the best.

Arjun was the ultimate enlightened warrior, the greatest friend of God himself, and one of the most sattvic warriors of all time.

Arjuna was the best warrior of the era. Shiva himself said that, and so did Krishna.

5 Duryodhana

Please vote for this guy. From the beginning to the end, everything was unjust to him.

He is a great warrior, a real 'Kshatriya.'

He has the greatest friend in the greatest warrior (Karna). He is a loyal friend and doesn't care about the caste system (e.g., Karna).

Even though he is classified as adharma, he is a great king. His only downfall is his hatred towards the Pandavas.

6 Abhimanyu
7 Shakuni

A good politician who kept his word for his forefathers.

8 Bheem

He defeated Karna at least four times during the war. He also defeated Drona by breaking his chariot eight times.

9 Eklavya

His faith and trust in his guru made him the best archer. He sacrificed everything for the same guru and can let go of anything for the one he trusts.

I am not S.T., but he also rocks. I also like Karna and Krishna, but his character also rocks.

10 Yudhishthir

He lived for dharma and earned the name and fame as "Dharma Raj." He alone went to heaven with his human body at the end.

He is the most righteous person in the Mahabharata.

The Contenders
11 Balram

He was one of the most unbiased people in the story.

12 Ashwatthama

He is a great warrior who replied to the enemies in their code and style. He killed the remaining Pandava army, including cowards like Shikhandi and Dhrishtadyumna, very brutally, which was the need of the hour. He was perhaps the best commander that the Kaurava army ever had.

I don't understand why he is not on the list. Though he is a bad character, he was a great warrior.

A valiant warrior and the only person who dared to try stopping the disrobing of Draupadi in a large gathering of so-called great persons.

13 Vidur
14 Drona
15 Ghatotkacha
16 Draupadi

She is probably the most pious lady who ever existed on earth. Though people have made false stories of her insulting Karna and Duryodhana, they are all false.

17 Kunti
18 Nakula
19 Parashurama
20 Barbarika

He is innocent, willing to stand on the side of the losing, and a capable warrior who can end a war with just three arrows. He was cheated by Krishna, who had other plans for the war.

21 Vrishashen
22 Mata Gandhari

She is a good mother and wife in the whole Mahabharata. No one can replace her as a good mother.

23 Pandu
24 Sahadeva
25 Dhritarashtra
